Along with fear it establishes and maintains control over us.
It is the illusion of separation which hides from reality.
It resists surrender at all costs.
Surrender weakens its influence over us.
The pain it creates is a resistance to surrender.
The pain at our death is the resistance of our ego to surrender.
Surrender is the only way to transcend its influence.
To discover the hidden territory within us.
It transcends and escapes the influences of our ego.
It is wrong to think we can or have to kill our ego.
We just have to minimize its control over us.
Robert.
